And of all the benzos Tranxene (Clorazepate Dipotasium) is supposed to be the least addictive and least cognitively impairing of them all. I find it easy to taper...about 1 million times easier than Xanax was. And easier still than Klonopin. No tolerance has developed either. Too bad all my meds aren't as easy to swallow.

interesting info, mr. scott -- have you (or anyone else) had any experience with either serax or centrax? the only benzos i've known are xanax and ativan -- i started with xanax but then found that it's cleared by the same liver enzyme as serzone (the AD i take) and thus blood levels of xanax rise markedly and unpredictably when they are coadministered....so i switched to ativan, which makes me more tired, it seems. i guess i'm looking for something that has a relatively short half-life (sort of like xanax and ativan -- i think they have 6-12 hr half lives), strong anti-anxiety effects, but minimal sedation when compared to others in the group. i have an ancient book about anxiety which includes a very brief summary of some benzos and despite the chapter's vagueness, serax and centrax sound like they *might* fit the bill. any comments or suggestions, personal experiences, etc. about these and other benzos?

thanks,

Stan
